BAHASAKU

My Language

Oleh/By:

Sdr/Mr A Rahim A Rashad

Bahasaku
My Language
sejak kelahiranmu
Since you were born
kau tegak berdiri
You’ve stood upright
membawa wibawa bangsa
Bringing dignity of the People
jauh di hujung benua
To the end of the continent
dibawa pulang ke negara petualang
Brought home to many an adventurer’s land
yang datang berdagang
who came to trade
di zaman silam
in days of old

Kuntum-kuntum pantun mu
Your flowery poetic verses
segar mengalir di jiwa
fresh flowing in the soul
hingga kini suci tiada bernoda
till now pure, untouched
Kau masih segar tersenyum
You are still smiling fresh

Pewarismu tiwikarma
Your beneficiary of unshaken belief
sigap sedia
ever ready
membela dan membela
to defend and to preserve
agar harummu tidak sirna
so your lovely aroma diminish not
walau manusia berjaya menakluki angkasa
though man have conquered space
Kurik kundi, merah saga
Like the red saga seeds
Baik budi, Indah bahasa.
Kindness in deeds, Beauty in the language
